Marathon Event

[Opie Crimeria]

Apparently I have problems reading and comprehending. I swear I read Shadowalker_'s post and thought my two questions were not covered there.

Sometimes I think I need to wear a helmet in rl.

Looks like a cool event.

Try tin foil... not allumininum (they say that on tv cover up the power of tin foil)

Worked for me, no one can make sence of Twig thoughts.

I've received a few private messages informing me that our aussie, asian, and players having to work are prevented from starting at the 10am eastern start time. So in fairness to them, I'm going to throw out this extra rule and would like to see what your take is on it.

-During the lvl 9, 16, 20 break periods. Players with a toon of those said lvls may join in the event, and are subject to all event rules, except those rules pretaining to the MVP awards.

[Shadowalker]

Awesome.. will edit it into the event rule list

Refresh reminder:

saturday.... Saturday...... SATURDAY.............

-September 11th year of our Brando 2010 at a time yet to be disclosed, tentatively 10am EST to let our Eurpean (pronounced Your A Peeing) join in, those of us on the westcoast will just have to wake up! Wake Up! WAKE UP!

-What to bring, a level one toon with 100 or less total XP, all races, ecls and classes are valid..

-Books, your free to level as need to read any or all books, but must delevel to lvl 1 with 100 or less XP..

-Multiboxing is allowed so long as there is a person behind each of your active accounts. One person per computer in use. (just like relic events)

-Duration, till all toons have reached 40 or Brando passes out of his keyboard.

-Breaks: There will be a 30 minute break for biology and regearing as the group gets to lvl 9, 16, 20, 25, and 30. Additional breaks may be arranged as needed by the staff hosting event. You must be back at the event site, only assessable though temporay portal to Avendale, by the end of the break period or your out of the event.

-Level Cap: As toons reach the level for the next break they are to drop from party untill all toons have reached said level. Consider it a bonus biology break. Regearing will take place as the last toon reaches the assigned level. When a toon hits 40, congrats your done, please drop from party and let those remaining finish faster.

-Regearing: It is highly recomended that each participant makes a mule to hold the gear they plan to use at each of the Break points. Guilded players can stick them in thier guild halls or post in Avendale, which is where the escape/break portal from the event site will go to. Non guilded players stick them in Avendale. A DM may or may not hold the avendale screen during the break to make transfers easier, if not there will be plenty of people there, find a Marathon buddy and help a brother or sister out. You may also carry additional gear on your event toon to switch to as needed. Most notably at the lvl 9 break, grab your lvl 13 keen wpn as well.

-Supplies: At your level 9 regear break please grab some RD scrolls along with your gear and healing potions. Clerics in the group will be doing all they can to assist in reviving the dead and fixing the broken, but they do this as a curtisey, so be ready to return the favor.

-Shop Keepers and Elvin: For last minute purchaces and healing potions, please remember that many others will need to use then, so be quick with your use of the NPC Vendors.

-Awards: After the event there will be a thread on this forum for voting, catagories are MVP Offence, MVP Support and a yet to be dertimined Most Likly to ______ catagory or catagories. Actual awards for these, if any, will be determined by the staff.

-Death: Untill the level 9 break, the only solution is to respawn and pray that a God will port you back to the event. So stock yourself with lots of cure potions to keep yourself alive. After the level 9 break all toons are requested to carry RD scrolls to assist when the clerics in the group are out of spells or dead themselves.

-RD (raise dead) scrolls: If you do not have a means to get several stacks of these, contact me (Twig) in game and I will be selling them at base cost to non guilded players, 6k or 6,000 per stack of 10. Guilded players have sufficent access. I will also try to be on 30 to 60 minutes (big yawn, if we start at 10am EST) before the event to supply any last minute participants.

-Relics: All relics will be held in LA for safe keeping till the event ends. And the staff reserves the right to resist any and all attempts to retrive the relics once the event has finished. Expect lots of resistance, cheesy or otherwise.

-Remember this is an US (the players) Vrs THEM (the npc's) event. Please leave all PvP issues behind when you come. The staff can/will - boot/ban those that cant follow this simple rule. Fun and a 40 are the primary rewards of this event.

-During the lvl 9, 16, 20 break periods. Players with a toon of those said lvls may join in the event, and are subject to all event rules, except those rules pertaining to the MVP awards. *edited in*

-Additions and possibly admenments to the above are the right of the Staff, so keep up to date via this thread or any others created by the Staff.

Minning should be able to help you with time conversions.

As for when will the lvl 9 break be, its dictated atm by the toons leveling progression, not a specific time.

I wouldnt be surprised if we reach that within one hour of event starting. Those badgers are incredibly potent in terms of XP, and soon as our casters get access to hammer of gods, call lightnining and the like, the badgers will be expiring as fast as the DM's can spawn them.

[weasel423]

Badgers? We don't need no stinkin badgers

[Shadowalker]

Badgers? We don't need no stinkin badgers

Now that is more like it

[Ghostly]

Actually, I was thinking about naming some of the creatures after DMs/Deities. Imagination getting killed by waves of Gorm's, Lokey's, Chaos's, and Tep's

[Pheonix]

Okay guys, Thanks for all your help i will try figure out what time it starts for me


Pheonix out !

[Alkapwn]

So just to clarify..

It's not a competitive event? We're just gonna uber grind out levels on DM spawns for the day until everyone gets to 40?

Will there be clowns and Carnies attending?

Do I need to take out insurance on my mouse clicking finger incase of repetitive strain injury?

Do you recommend paper or plastic for human waste?

Can i get a sponsership from Jagermeister and Redbull?

If perchance there is a Act of God such as (Tsunami's in the Sahara, An ice age localized in DisneyWorld, or Daleks attack Timmins, Ontario) can I forfeit the Marathon and still receive a Participation Ribbon?

Lastly, If Gravy was carbonated could you market it as a delicious savory soft drink?
